Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.

Serodiagnosis of Echinococcus spp. infection: explorative selection of diagnostic antigens by peptide microarray.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
BackgroundProduction of native antigens for serodiagnosis of helminthic infections is laborious and hampered by batch-to-batch variation. For serodiagnosis of echinococcosis, especially cystic disease, most screening tests rely on crude or purified ...

Utilisation of Anthropogenic Food by Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Britain as Determined by Stable Isotope Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
Anthropogenic food consumption has been implicated in poor health outcomes for synanthropes. We used stable isotope analysis on British red fox whiskers to show a distinct diet between rural and urban foxes, where rural and urban fox diets consisted of around 6% and 35% anthropogenic food, respectively.

Prevalence and geographic distribution of Echinococcus genus in wild canids in southern Québec, Canada.

PLoS ONE
Echinococcus spp. is an emerging zoonotic parasite of high concern. In Canada, an increase in the number of human and animal cases diagnosed has been reported, but information regarding the parasite's distribution in wildlife reservoir remains limited. A

Which Test to Perform for Cystic hydatic Diagnosis and When?

Novelty in Biomedicine, 2020
Echinococcosis is one of the 17 neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) recognized by the World Health Organization. The two major species of medical importance are Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis (1).

Comparative Analysis of Nuclear (Ef1α) and Mitochondrial (mt‐CO1 and mt‐Nad5) Markers for Molecular Characterization of Sheep Isolates of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Echinococcus granulosus is a zoonotic disease that is widespread worldwide. Objective This study aimed to determine the genetic diversity of E. granulosus isolates in sheep. Partial mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences were used to determine intraspecific variation.

A new SYBR green real-time PCR assay for semi-quantitative detection of Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus canadensis DNA on bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus)

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2019
Berries and vegetables are potential transmission vehicles for eggs of pathogenic parasites, such as Echinococcus spp. We developed a SYBR Green based semi-quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) method for detection of Echinococcus multilocularis and ...

First detection of Echinococcus multilocularis in Bosnia and Herzegovina

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022
Echinococcus multilocularis has been spreading through Central Eastern Europe but has not yet been reported in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). Recently, this parasite is confirmed in Croatia suggesting the movement of the parasite's distribution limit ...

A comparative study of different immunoassays to detect specific antibodies to Echinococcus spp. in human sera

Helminthologia, 2020
Human echinococcosis, one of the most serious of parasitic zoonoses, is caused by the larval stages of taeniid cestodes of the genus Echinococcus. The study aimed to assess the reliability of the detection of specific antibodies to E.

The Areas of Echinococcosis From the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau Extend to Yunnan: An Observation of Deworming and Control Integrated Impact Evaluation on Dogs

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background:Echinococcus granulosus is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the larval stage of the parasite Echinococcus, which has a long incubation period, expensive diagnosis and treatment, and long duration of medication, so it brings a great economic burden to patients and their families.
